The equipment shall comply with requirements of Administration of Occupational Safety and Health in Iceland, which are based on the Directive 2006/42/EC - Machinery safety, and be CE marked
The drillrig shall have the technical capacity for the geotechnical reasearch and drill methods which ICERA must perform in preparation of road building and bridge projects. The ground situations in Iceland are very variable, from soft soil as wet peat to gravel sediments, till and hard rock
The drillrig shall have at least 3 tons capacity and the following reasearchs and drilling methods shall be performable by the drillrig:
· Rotary/pressure drilling in soft soil (n. Dreietrykksondering)
· Cone Penetration Testing CPT
· Sampling with 54 og 76 mm Piston samplers
· Dynamik sounding (Swedish standard)
· Georock drilling, (n. Geosondering)
· Total soil/rock drilling, (n. Totalsondering), combinations drilling in soft soil and
ICERA refer to Norwegian standards and guidlines as well as Eurocode 7 in the Geotechnical work and so is therefore done in this invitation to tender
Environmental factors have increased in importance and therefore shall the equipment be equipped with a special vacuum cleaner and fulfill certain requirements on noise limitation
